# Windows Package Managers
This project houses the windows install packages for [InfulxDB](https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb), [Chronograf](https://influxdb.com/chronograf/index.html), and [Telegraf](https://github.com/influxdb/telegraf)](https://github.com/influxdb/telegraf).
## Future Features
- [ ] Install executables as services
- [ ] Log events to event log
- [ ] Allow configuration of services via install
## InfluxDB Windows Packager
This project uses the [Wix Toolset](http://wixtoolset.org/) to generate a windows msi installer. All of the scripts to build
the InfluxDB MSI installer are located in the `influxdb` directory
### GUID
You need to generate some GUIDs for the installer. I used [guidgen.com](http://www.guidgen.com/)
referenced in the [generate guids guide](http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/general/generate_guids.html)
NOTE: You have to uppercase the GUID's that this site generates to be fully compatible with the installer.
### Generating InfluxDB Binaries
To generate the necessary InfluxDB binaries, pull down the [project](http://github.com/influxdb/influxdb). Then with a valid [go](http://golang.org)
environment set up, run the following script:
```sh
./build.sh
```
### Generating the MSI
First, we need to use candle to create our intermmediate object that will turn into an msi file.
```
candle.exe -nologo influxdb.wxs -out influxdb.wixobj -ext WixUtilExtension -ext WixUIExtension
```
Now we can generate the msi file with this command:
```
light.exe -nologo influxdb.wixobj -out influxdb.msi -ext WixUtilExtension -ext WixUIExtension
```
## Chronograf Windows Packager
This project uses the [Wix Toolset](http://wixtoolset.org/) to generate a windows msi installer. All of the scripts to build
the Chronograf MSI installer are located in the `chronograf` directory
### Generating the MSI
First, we need to use candle to create our intermmediate object that will turn into an msi file.
```
candle.exe -nologo chronograf.wxs -out chronograf.wixobj -ext WixUtilExtension -ext WixUIExtension
```
Now we can generate the msi file with this command:
```
light.exe -nologo chronograf.wixobj -out chronograf.msi -ext WixUtilExtension -ext WixUIExtension
```
## Telegraf Windows Packager
This project uses the [Wix Toolset](http://wixtoolset.org/) to generate a windows msi installer. All of the scripts to build
the Telegraf MSI installer are located in the `telegraf` directory
### Generating the MSI
First, we need to use candle to create our intermmediate object that will turn into an msi file.
```
candle.exe -nologo telegraf.wxs -out telegraf.wixobj -ext WixUtilExtension -ext WixUIExtension
```
Now we can generate the msi file with this command:
```
light.exe -nologo telegraf.wixobj -out telegraf.msi -ext WixUtilExtension -ext WixUIExtension
```
